Pros

fantastic benefits, as long as you have a degree you start as an assistant manager, can go anywhere in the united states, great management training program, decent starting salary. bonuses available.

Cons

long hours minimum of 44 hours a week must be worked. every store is understaffed so be prepared to work. late closing hours stores close at 7pm and open at 7 am so not much time to have a life. hard work a lot of lifting and constant standing and working in warehouses with no heat or a/c. majority of stores are in bad condition as far as the warehouse goes. every year you expected to do atleast 10% more in sales than previous year if you don't you get put on probation and cant get raise or promotion or transfer until the next year if you do go over 10%. all day long you get to deal with complaining customers and contractors who all complain about the exact same thing pricing.

Pros

Good experience in all areas of a business.

Cons

As a manager they continue to expect more and more with less and less. They would rather have 2 FT employees and 8 PT employees, instead of balancing it out with FT employees that would care a little more about the job. Continual turnover. No matter how good you've ran your store, always a sense of upper mgmt hinting at not needing you, that there are other people out there that can do your job. Only concern is sales. Cutting expenses doesn't mean anything... motto is sell sell sell, and if you're not, then you're of no use to them. Store mgmt is expected to be a 2nd sales rep while being responsible for all aspects of the store.
